Coming to praise or critique Kevin Smith, director ofTusk, is a tricky proposition these days. But as a storyteller, its only been for the better. Its thus such a shame that these oddities obscured the far better movie hidden within. The latter may be the selling point, but it is the former that lingers.

For many people, hes one of the creators, stars, and writers of the seminalThe Fast Show. If you havent done so already, I implore you to go and start reading it now. Im a huge fan, and Ive detailed my reasons here. Well when anyone ever asks me what I do, I always just say Im a writer. Pretty much everything Ive ever done has always started with writing. Its what I enjoy doing most....
By now, youve probably heard aboutDestinys divided reception. Not that we didnt spot problems. There are a few of them. And they are serious. But they are fixable. Before we start complaining and pointing fingers, we have to consider that no MMO is perfect at launch. The pieces for a captivating experience are all there. They just havent come together. Im confident that will change. One thingDestinymight never be able to shake, though, is its bigHaloproblem....
In Order of Disappearancewas our favourite movie from the 2014 Edinburgh International Film Festival. Its a grimly amusing revenge thriller starring Stellen Skarsgard thats earned comparisons to the Coen and McDonagh brothers. The comedy struck me as being very dark, dry and slightly twisted. Is that a good description of Norways sense of humour? (You are, for the purposes of this interview, an ambassador for all of Norway.) Thats a description of my sense of humour....
Mixing subtly-nuanced yet brutal insight with the odd sheer physical, well, brutality,Faultsdemands to be seen. The film opens with an opera star (Minnie Driver) encountering a mysterious killer in her dressing room. Meat Loaf (okay, hes not called that in the film but who cares?) Though undoubtedly good fun, Sables film sadly collapses a little under its own ambition. In trying to be everything to everyone, the delicate balancing act doesnt quite pay-off....
Hayao Miyazakis final animated feature The Wind Rises is out on disc this month.

Box office is one way a film makes its cash: but what are the others? I know youll have noticed this by now, but its definitely called show business for a reason. Its not show show art, show entertainment or even show exhibitionist impulse. Unless movies make money, the money to make movies would dry up pretty quickly. But where does this money come from? Actually, thats an easy one....
Boardwalk Empire lends us an ear for The Good Listener. Here is our review. ThisBoardwalk Empirereview contains spoilers. Boardwalk Empires The Good Listener opened on a close-up of an ear. An extreme close-up of what looked like a very unhealthy ear. You thought so too. Just for a second. CouldBoardwalk Empireexact an eye for an eye and an ear for an orange? Elis seen happier days. Waking up to a raid sucks....
How have you felt about Felicitys journey this season? I felt like she became a very strong individual throughout, and I think shes still learning about herself. Shes grown up a lot in the past season. I think she decided to make decisions herself and not for other people and also applauded herself for that. Because its the applause; its giving yourself the promotion thats the best learning experience. So I think thats what she did....

The secret of Tracks' successful sojourn through the Australian desert and human soul is Mia Wasikowska. Humans are by their nature social creatures. We seek fellowship, camaraderie, and always communal experiencessuch as going to the movies. There but for the grace of God go I could be a genre unto itself. Its also what makes John CurransTracksso remarkably joyful in its celebration of the isolated. The trek took nine months to complete and covered 1,700 miles between Alice Springs and the Indian Ocean....
